The iPod turned 10 years old yesterday. To mark the occasion, here are a few facts about the iPod that you may not know:
On an unseasonably sunny October day, M caught up with the Overtones, a vocal harmony group who are inspired by the sounds of the 40s, 50s and 60s while adding their own contemporary twist.
Alice talks to M about the challenges of getting a band off the ground, finding musical inspiration in her rural surroundings, open wounds and, er, pigs.
The Special Ks are a five-piece band from Brighton. The guys' current sound could best be described as electro-pop performed live using glitchy keys, guitar lines, 90s House riffs and some very interesting lyrical inspiration.
M spoke to Airship before their gig at The Old Blue Last in Hoxton. Watch the band perform a special version of their song Kids and talk to M about writing the songs on Stuck In This Ocean.
